'Corrosion under insulation' (CUI) is one of the most common and most difficult to manage forms of corrosion in the process and chemical industry, with corresponding costs and safety risks. To support ...
Until recently, Sirris used multi-scale texturing to make surfaces water-repellent. This technique creates superhydrophobic surfaces but is quite time-consuming. That is why we looked for a different ...
Measuring is knowing, also when it comes to adding functionalities to surfaces by means of texturing. If you want to get an idea about surface performance, Sirris’ functionality development relies on ...
Laser surface texturing is increasingly being used as a surface treatment technology because it improves and speeds up treatment, making the process more cost-effective. This development opens the ...
Corrosion remains one of the most important degradation processes of installations and infrastructure and as such is the cause of failures, downtime, lack of safety, and environmental damage ...
Today, the search for more environmentally-friendly coatings for packaging papers, as a sustainable alternative to plastics, is taking up speed. Paper as a possible substrate scores high, but has a ...
With the BioCoat project, Sirris is supporting companies in the transition towards a bio-based economy by providing practical guidelines in the application of bio-based alternatives for traditional coatings. In particular, the performance of bio-based acrylate coatings has recently been extensively evaluated as protective coatings for wood substrates.
Sirris conducts research into how new technologies can become meaningful in industrial applications. One of them is femtosecond laser technology. The effect of texturing on friction was shown using a ...
Laser engraving is a fast and efficient way to permanently mark all kinds of materials. Laser engraving comes in all shapes and sizes. Colours are also possible. Various techniques and technologies ...
The use of femtosecond lasers for laser marking, instead of the classical nano- and picosecond lasers can prevent corrosion. Unknown is unloved and therefore Sirris gives you the opportunity not only ...
Icing is a major concern in many industries and can lead to standstills, safety hazards, product breakage or additional fuel or electricity costs. Active anti-icing systems, however, add to operating ...
